copied both the files in the same folder .... Internet Explorer displays the HTML file in a table consisting of ARTIST, TITLE AND PRICE.
while Firefox doesnot display a table consisting of the XML data ... as Firefox does not support
XML embedded in HTML as Data Islands
my question is why do browsers other than IE dont support
XML embedded in HTML as Data Islands??
embed XML in HTML ....
Linear Mode
